  • Summary

  • Have you SEEN the state of the papers today? PAPER CUTS has. In our twice weekly podcast, some of Britain’s sharpest commentators and funniest comedians come together to look at the madness, the strangeness, the obsessions, and – occasionally – the brilliance of our national press. Host Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalists and comedians like Jonn Elledge, Grainne Maguire, Jacob Jarvis, Ava Santina, Marcus Brigstocke, Coco Khan and many more.

Because paper reviews should always be funny.

It's only a few weeks old but Paper Cuts is now a regular fixture for me. Brilliant.

Love it

Brilliant way to reading the front pages with a comical twist. I recommend if you had enough of the blatant bias of the Uk media
